you can't capture the sky

Don't let go of a butterfly
It'll just fly away
If it really wants to escape
Don't make my mistake

Don't lose a good dream to the night
You'll lose what should have been a memory
Even the dream wasn't really right

'Cause you can't capture the sky
Trust me I've tried
And it took me my whole life to realize
You can't capture the sky

Don't leash a tiger; it'll die
Cause it's cruel to keep a wild thing
From running from this century

Don't clip a bird's wings
You know that's cruel
And if you do then there's special place in Hell for you
But I'll see you down there soon

'Cause you can't capture the sky
Trust me I've tried
And it took me my whole life to realize
You can't capture the sky

If you cut your hair you'll regret it
But even if you don't you won't let it grow
I'm like the sun if you get too close
Not even safe behind a telescope

'Cause you can't capture the sky
Trust me I've tried
And it took me my whole life to realize
You can't capture the sky

I thought by now I'd feel at peace
But still I'm not happy
And the blame is all on me

Blame got caught in between the sky
And the rest of the world
Haven't you heard?
Lost at the edge of the universe

'Cause you can't capture the sky
Trust me I've tried
And it took me my whole life to realize
You can't capture the sky

'Cause you can't capture the sky
Trust me I've tried
And it took me my whole life to realize
You can't capture the sky, no

You can't capture the sky, no
You can't capture the sky, no
You can't capture the sky
